The Cleveland Cavaliers and veteran big man Kevin Love reportedly aren't in each other's good books following his contract buyout last week.

According to Cleveland.com's Chris Fedor, Love and the Cavs have a "strained" relationship due to the way things played out this season. Fedor noted that the Cavaliers had no intention of putting Love back in the rotation, so they agreed to buy him out, as they were concerned about his "unhappiness festering."

The Cavs and Love finalized the buyout Saturday, and it didn't take Love long to sign with an Eastern Conference rival in the Miami Heat.
